Having been educated as an elementary school teacher, it certainly was a surprise to Lynda Paige that she would spend 41 years working in the insurance industry! Lynda began her insurance career at Colonial Penn Insurance Company in Philadelphia where she worked for 10 years. She then came to GA / CGU/ OneBeacon as a business analyst for Personal Lines Underwriting. Later on, Lynda joined the GA helpdesk in February 1997 and found a home.
“Customer Support is challenging and rewarding in both the purposeful effort put into resolving the issues reported and the ongoing praise and thanks from the customers you speak to everyday, the best of both worlds,” Lynda said. I’ve had the pleasure of meeting many of our helpdesk customers in person over the years during visits to offices in Canton, Farmington, Foxboro, Los Angeles, Morristown, New York, Salem and San Francisco, and made many friends!
Lynda said her fondest memory was in the fall of 2015. The Enterprise Support Center management and team members converged in New York City for a few days of bonding and fun. “The trip was truly memorable as the team works from home full time, and we were provided an opportunity to spend time with one another. It was a wonderful occasion!”
Lynda celebrated her upcoming retirement, happening at the end of the year, with members from the Canton office at Boncaldos! Being with the Canton team gave her the chance to meet many people that she normally only spoke to over the phone, as well as connect with others she hasn’t seen in a long time. “I received hugs and well wishes from all that I will remember forever!”
On behalf of all of us at OneBeacon, congratulations and best wishes, Lynda!
